Delhi Greenlights 24/7 Restaurant Operations to Boost Tourism

Delhi government has approved 24-hour operations for restaurants in Aerocity to boost tourism and state revenue. This initiative, similar to Gurugram’s policy, aims to enhance visitor experience and expand economic growth. Over 700 establishments now operate non-stop to draw more tourists to the city.

In a strategic move to elevate tourism and invigorate economic growth, the Delhi government has officially sanctioned 24-hour operations for restaurants in Aerocity.

This decision transforms Aerocity's hospitality offerings, allowing restaurants to join existing 4-star and higher-rated hotels in providing round-the-clock service. Chief Minister Atishi's approval underscores a broader strategy to draw tourists and bolster state revenue through increased licensing fees.

The approach mimics a successful model in Gurugram, Haryana, where similar measures resulted in considerable revenue hikes from extended operational hours. The verdict follows a recent milestone, with over 700 Delhi shops and establishments now granted permission for continuous uptime.
